Question

The selling price of 12 eggs is equal to the cost price of 16 eggs. Find the profit per cent.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the SP of one egg be Rupee 1

Then, SP of 12egg = RS. 12

Given, SP of 12 egg = CP of 16 egg

=> profit=SP-CP

=16-12=RS 4

NOW, profit %=profit\CP×100

profit %=(5\25)×100

=20%

Answer 2

Answer:

25% Profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price of each pen be Rsx

Then,

Cost Price of 12 pens=Rs.12

Selling Price of 12 pens=Cost Price of 15 pens=Rs.15

Now , Profit =SP-CP =15-12 =Rs.3

Profit%=Profit/cp*100

        =(3/12*100)=25%

Hence,the Profit=25%.
